An incredible 40 million used tyres are removed from vehicles in the UK every year – that’s a massive 100,000 tyres being replaced every single day.
Tyres are notoriously difficult to handle as a waste product – particularly since disposing of whole tyres into landfill became illegal in 2003, followed by a ban on shredded tyres into landfill in 2006.
It’s important that tyre retailers, fitters and producers – which have a duty of care to manage end-of-life disposal of their waste tyres - can rely on a professional collection system which ensures responsible disposal that won’t harm the environment.
We offer a sustainable solution to the processing of used or end-of-life tyres in the UK by providing them for use as an alternative fuel for the cement industry.
The inherent energy in the tyres is used to provide heat as part of the cement making process with the tyre’s steel properties absorbed into the cement. The tyres are effectively fully consumed during the energy recovery process and there is no waste.
